GitGuardian Introduces NHI Governance
GitGuardian recently announced a new NHI Governance solution, which offers comprehensive lifecycle management of non-human identities (NHIs) to "help enterprises regain control over their secrets and prevent costly breaches."
NHIs – such as service accounts, API keys, and authentication tokens – "are used as digital references for machine-to-machine access," explains Soujanya Ain (https://blog.gitguardian.com/gitguardian-launches-nhi-governance/). These accounts differ from human users, which can make them difficult to manage, Ain says. For example, "NHIs lack the additional security layer of multi-factor authentication, and they authenticate using secrets such as API keys, tokens, and certificates – credentials that, once exposed, can be exploited by attackers."
According to GitGuardian, NHI Governance ensures that NHIs and their secrets are:
- Created securely with least-privilege principles
- Monitored continuously for suspicious access patterns
- Rotated according to compliance requirements
- Revoked immediately when compromised or no longer needed
